Honky tonk memories a cheating song melody
It takes me back to you and me and what it used to be back then
A walking through the swinging doors and dancing on hardwood floors
I tipped the band to play one more I wish we had it all again

I'm sitting here and thinking dear why I didn't marry you
I wonder if you're happy with the one who had sense enough to
A pin ball going ding-a-ling chug-a-lugging was the thing
Singing songs we all could sing wish that I could bring it back

Honky tonk memories a cheating song melody
La la la, la la la la la

I'm sitting here and thinking dear why I didn't marry you
I wonder if you're happy with the one who had sense enough to
Dancing until closing time we could read each others mind
And I could search and never find another time like that

Honky tonk memories a cheating song melody
It takes me back to you and me and what it used to be back then
A walking through the swinging doors and dancing on hardwood floors
I tipped the band to play one more I wish we had it all again
